An exchange trnthfnlly says: ttThe way to
build up a city is to build up each and every
man in the city-not to strive to rend aud
tear down. Whenever a man in tue city IS
doing well do not try to tear him down: All
the residents of city are partners. not oppo-

strive to overcome opponents This is not SO
in business in city. In all likelihood the
mere business that is done by your rival the
more you will do. Every decent man, who
treats his customers honestly .courteously and
fairly will get his share, aud the more busi
ness that can be created by united effort, the
better will it be for all. When city ceases
to grow it commences to die, aud the more the
people try to kill off each other, in their bust

Philadelphia, ON the 18th Of next month, an
interesting but not particularly edifying
fact is brought rather prominently to the
attention of patriotic citizens. How very
little do we know of the majority of the
women who were intimately related to the
men who played the most prominent parts
in the stirring events of a century ago;
how meagre the details of the mothers,
wives, sisters and daughters of the sign
ers-women who had as much to 90,
doubtless in influence and argument of
the most potent although less public sort,
in shaping events, as did the men whose
names we honor and with whose lives we
are all familiar. To obtain an impressive
idea of how silent history is about the
m whose husbands and sons stood out
in bold relief among their fellows in l78o,
one has only to search through a score or
more of standard works in any public or
private library without finding n salts
factory chapter or page or paragraph about
these fcremothers of the Republic, whom
we honor in our hearts ever if we cannot
call the muster-roll of their names as we
can those of the signerS.

A MOTHERS PROMISE.

A little girl, whose mother had always
told her the truth and taught her to rust
in her promises, went with her one day to
a large town. The child had been used to
living in the quiet country, and the noise
and hustle of the city were not pleasant
to her. A great crowd was gathered to see
some show in the street, and Lucy pressed
her mothers hand, for she felt afraid.
"Don't be- afraid, my child" said her
mother, II won't take you into any danger;
Keep hold of my hand, and nothing shall
hurt you" Lucy believed her mother
and was happy. 1gY
mother looked at the delicate little girl and
said: Lucy, dear, I am afraid to q
you any further, on account of the rain:
I have some business in another part OF
the town. I must leaye you in this store.
Don't 90 away from it, and I will come for
YOU as soon as I get through my errands."
The child looked into her mothers face
and said, "You won't forget me, l know"
Then her mother kissed her and left her
under the care of the store-keeper..
At first she was amused by seeing the
gay ribbons measured, and in watching the
ladies who came in to do their shopping !;
but after a while she grew tired and wish
ed for her mother to come. Then a little
| girl older than herself came in, and they
began to talk together. Lucy told her she
was waiting for her mother, who had
promised to come for her When she got
through her errands.
Aren't you afraid your mother may for
get you 2" asked the little girl.
"No, Pm not afraid I'm sure she won't
do that" said Lucy.
elbow can you be sure? She may, you
know" -
"She promised" was the child's reply,
land I never knew my mother to break
her promise"
Another hour passed away. How long
it seemed to Lucy! The customers had all
gone home. The people in the store were
putting away their goods. 1t was grow
ing dark and the gas-lamps were lighted,
but still her mother did not come. A lady
came into the store Lucy knew. She lived
near her fathers, and offered to- take her
home in her carriage.
mo, thank you, ma'am, !" said Lucy,
"mother said she would come for me, and
I know she will keep her promise"
At length her mother came. How glad
Lucy was to see her! And when they
were sitting by the Preside in the evening,
her mother told her this was just the kind
of trust God wants his children to exercise.
He gives us promises in his word, and ex-
poets US to believe them, just as we believe
the promises of our parents and dear
friends.
